Ryanair Passenger Warns Others After Being Told She Might Not Get a Seat

A passenger was worried when she was told she might not be able to board a plane. This is not the first time someone has had this issue with Ryanair. Aisling Finlay shared her story to alert others.
Aisling shared her story on TikTok and said she didn't know this could happen with Ryanair. Many people were surprised by her story and it became popular online.
This is not the first story like this. A four-year-old boy was also told he couldn't board a plane.
In her video, Aisling said there was a high chance they wouldn't get on the flight. She reminded everyone to check-in early because Ryanair was overbooking flights.
Aisling was flying to Spain and checked in the night before. However, she couldn't reserve a seat, which she thought was strange.
When they arrived at the gate, they were told the flight was overbooked by nine seats.
Aisling and her companion were fifth and sixth in line to board. They were told it was unlikely they would get on the flight.
Aisling's video has been viewed over 27,000 times and many people commented on it. Hundreds of people shared their thoughts on the issue.
One person said they had never experienced this problem before and didn't think it was common. They thought it might be a new issue with Ryanair.
Another person shared a similar experience. They were flying from Dublin to Bristol but couldn't get on the flight. Ryanair paid for a taxi to take them to their destination and they received compensation.
Someone else said this problem is becoming common. They advised people to check in early and book seats to avoid issues.
Some people commented that overbooking is a common practice among airlines. They said all airlines do this.
Ryanair said they don't overbook flights as a policy. The passenger did travel on the flight from Dublin to Palma de Mallorca.
Ryanair's website has more information on this issue. They say they don't overbook flights, but if a seat is not available, they will ask for volunteers to give up their seats.
If there are not enough volunteers, Ryanair will deny boarding to some passengers. These passengers have certain rights that are outlined on the website.
The rights of passengers who are denied boarding are explained on Ryanair's website. This information is available to everyone.
